South Africa A duo charged with dissent
South Africa A pair Tabraiz Shamsi and Qaasim Adams have been charged for breaching the ICC's Code of Conduct during their match against the National Performance Squad on Wednesday.
Both players were reported and charged with a Level 1 breach of Article 2.1.5 of the ICC's code - showing dissent at an umpire’s decision during an international match.

In both instances, match referee Steve Bernard considered the umpires’ written report and offered the players a reprimand, which they accepted.
The incident involving Shamsi occurred in the 36th over of the NPS innings when, having struck NPS captain Matt Short on the pad, he launched a lengthy and spirited appeal that ultimately reduced him to his knees, then his back and then into a ball on the turf just metres away from the batsman.
Having elicited no more than a shake of the head and a call of 'over' from Umpire Adrian Holdstock, Shamsi regained his feet and walked towards the leg side before turning and remonstrating with the umpire again, once more to no avail.

Adams' charge came after he was dismissed leg before wicket for 44 during the tourists' successful run chase of 288.
The left-hander attempted to sweep NPS legspinner Kyle Gardiner and Umpire Holdstock adjudged Adams had been struck on the pad in line with stumps and raised his finger.
Adams threw his head back when the verdict was delivered and stood at the crease for several seconds before starting his walk off the ground.
Despite the sanctions, both players will be available for the match against the NPS on Saturday, which will be followed by the Quadrangular One-Day Series final between Australia A and India A on Sunday.
